A decade older student discussing his great teachers said to McDade, "But you're not just a great teacher of literature-you teach sociology, anthropology, history, economics, philosophy, political science, psychology, journalism, religion! And politics: I never thought of everything being political until I took your class." Without a classroom, Georgia McDade aims to do the same with and in her poetry that she did in the classroom. Everything is part of life. So once again she invites readers to come outside of their respective caves with this fourth volume of poetry. Dr. G's syllables are exciting and engaging. Each and every syllable pushes your mind and heart into exploring your thoughts, words, world, and world view. Her words are magnets that draw you into your inner thoughts and make you listen and respond and, perhaps, alter your view of the world. ~ Rev. LaVerne C. Williams Hall Dr. McDade is an extraordinary writer, poet, and spoken word artist. Her social and political savvy is current and captivating. Serving a mouth-watering buffet of historical situations and subjects, her poetry educates while simmering and bubbling in spices of well-seasoned humor. Sensitive matters are easy to digest and even easier to accept and appreciate. Dr. McDade's work is a gift that keeps on giving as the reader savors the moment and looks forward to the next written meal. ~ Jacqueline Ware … a primary strength in Outside the Cave IV is its gamut of complexities which must be unraveled in order for us to have an inner drive to question, alter, and change tattered social, political, and economic constructs. ~ Minnie A. Collins
